Workstream Features

VoiceAI

VoiceAI uses automated phone calls to screen candidates, ask predefined questions, and record their responses. It provides transcripts, Q&A records, AI-generated summaries, and pass/fail ratings in the hiring dashboard, while also making reminder calls and handling interview rescheduling. It can follow the employer’s scripts, tone, and hiring policies, and trigger the next hiring step after a screening stage is completed. Workstream also includes VideoAI for first-round video screening, with recorded interviews, summaries, and candidate match scores. This can reduce the time hiring teams spend on initial candidate screening and follow-up calls.

Team View

Workstream centralizes employee information such as pay, time off, benefits, documents, and other employee records in one dashboard. It also flags missing or duplicate information that could affect a new hire’s readiness, lets managers view information for their direct reports, and supports custom views and permissions to control what different users can access. HR teams can also use employee records to track signed policies, write-ups, and other notes throughout the employee lifecycle. Using Team View, they can find employee information and identify missing records in one place, reducing the need to check separate systems or files.

Applicant Tracking

This feature organizes candidates from application through hiring, allowing teams to screen applicants, schedule interviews, communicate with candidates, and move them through customized hiring stages. It includes automated screening questions, AI phone calls, and background checks to help qualify applicants. It also supports interview scheduling, reminders, and multilingual communication throughout the hiring process. Teams can set auto-rejection rules and use the Talent Network to reconnect with past applicants and employees. Hiring teams can also customize the process by location or position and manage hiring across multiple locations and brands.

Talent Network

Talent Network stores qualified past applicants and former employees in a searchable candidate pool. It allows hiring teams to use AI-generated tags and match percentages to identify prospects based on factors such as skills, experience, language, or previous applications. They can then invite selected prospects to apply to open roles, contact multiple prospects using outreach templates, and collect contact details from passive candidates for future hiring needs. The module gives HR employees a ready pool of relevant candidates to revisit when new positions open, which can reduce the need to source candidates from scratch each time.

Full-Service Payroll

Workstream’s payroll solution calculates employee pay using data from Time Clock, including breaks, tips, overtime, and time off. It also handles tax, benefit, and garnishment deductions and remittances, supports tax form filing, and stores electronic payroll records for state and federal requirements. Employees can access their pay information and receive payments through their preferred method. Payroll teams can also use Payroll AI Assistant to automate payroll tasks, generate reports, and review information about pay, taxes, and compensation. Additionally, Check Mailing supports printing and mailing payroll checks through Workstream

Compliance

The software’s Compliance feature monitors workforce data for potential labor compliance issues across locations. It checks areas such as I-9 documentation, minimum wage, overtime, meal and rest breaks, expiring employee records, missing onboarding documents, and certifications. The feature can also flag time clock and meal break violations, send compliance alerts, track ACA eligibility and enrollment, and maintain required acknowledgments and audit trails. Compliance reports and searchable records give teams a way to review potential issues within Workstream. It can help operators identify potential compliance issues earlier and address them before they become harder to resolve.

“I'm happy with this!”

Pros

We use this to manage the application process for our business. It speeds things up and takes a load off our plate when new applicants come in. It lets us screen applicants and they can only move forward to schedule an interview if they answer key questions correctly like when they're available to work and how many hours they can commit.

Cons

Honestly, I can't think of any major cons at the moment.

“Always bringing in fresh candidates”

Pros

The applicant flow is fantastic. We rarely find ourselves short on applicants for any of our more than 100 positions.

Cons

When we find a good representative for our company, they frequently end up changing fast. It would be great if internal turnover was smoother and if reassignment was based on past needs and whether the new rep can meet those needs.
